The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
has today severely censured the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed for his
statement in which Saeed said that Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is innocent and hence
remain free. The saffron party says that this confirms that the Lashkar-e-Taiba
( LeT ) chief Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi is the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai
attack.
GVL Narasimha Rao, spokesperson
of the BJP said that the innocence certificate given by one terrorist to
another is quite amateurish and strange.
He told the media, "Hafiz
Saeed is himself among the dreaded terrorist that the world has already
notified. And his clean certificate to Lakhvi, who was the real mastermind
behind the 26/11 terror attacks, I think shows the connection and the extensive
network of terrorist that pervades Pakistan as a country." "I think
Hafiz Saeed has absolutely no locus standi, his certificate only goes confirms
that Lakhvi is the mastermind of 26/11. If anybody had any doubt in mind, here
is the proof," he added further.
The JuD supremo yesterday said
that the Indian government is trying to put pressure on Pakistan through United
Nations and the US to get Lakhvi behind bars. He stated that Lakhvi was
entirely innocent and there is no concrete evidence to prove his involvement in
the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.
India has raised the issue of
Lakhvi's release with the UN and said that his release is the violation of the
norms of the global body.
